Meet the partnering farmers and Producers
At Roots of Mexico it is important to us the quality and where our ingredients are coming from and what best way to share with you all some of the Local farmers and producers from Idaho that also who share our commitment to love, respect, and care for the community and land they cultivate from.
Why are quality and locally sourced ingredients so important?
Sourcing locally and organically is not only about the important of health consciousness—it’s also about community, the importance of small businesses, and the people who run them. Most importantly It’s also about the connections you make, relationships you build, the trust you create, and the knowledge you share not only from farmers but also the people/community that support you and that you meet along the way. You are learning, exchanging, and growing together
This way of sourcing reminds us of where we all started and how our food connects us. It brings us closer, strengthens our communities, and helps us stay rooted in what truly matters.
Here are some informative websites from our partner farmers that we trust. They have helped us create our Mexican food, and we look forward to sharing this information with you so you can learn more about them and the importance of supporting their work. You can also meet them every market season at the Boise Farmers Market.

They are known to craft their chocolate tablets from scratch and shape them by hand using ancient knowledge and techniques passed down through generations. They also have a community program where they teach children the history of cultivating cacao seeds and trees, passing that knowledge to new generations.
For our specialty ingredients, we make sure they are carefully selected from their original origins in this casa in Oaxaca, Mexico. We use their chocolate tablets in our Dark Oaxacan Mole and in our Mexican Oaxacan Hot Chocolate.
Located in Oaxaca, Mexico, it is possible to inquire about their chocolate and learn more about them through OaxacanitaChocolate.com.
“Chocolate Artesanal Oaxaqueno ”
Corn is the main ingredient in many Mexican dishes. As with all the ingredients we use, we care deeply about where it comes from — and corn is no exception. The quality of the corn matters because it completes our food.
I want to share where we source our corn: Brenda’s and Grano de Oro are two small vendors I visit when I travel to San Diego, CA (located just across the border in Tijuana, Mexico). They supply quality corn that originates from Oaxaca or the central region of Mexico. When I don’t have time to travel, I order from Masienda. They work closely with Oaxacan agriculturists who grow specific, high-quality varieties of corn.
While Brenda’s and Grano de Oro have limited digital information available due to being local small businesses in Tijana, Masinda provides extensive resources if you’d like to learn more. Visit Masienda.com
